so I tried to Root my Dream and choose after a number of failed attempts I have decided to just give up so I want to wipe and restore my phone's OS the factory but when I try though the settings menu the phone restarts then just sits on the "Rodgers" logo for ever so is there anyway to fix that?
Don't give up so soon
I definitely recommend rooting. The rogers firmware sucks by default imo. I did not like my phone at all until I rooted.
Check this guide by HyeProfile, I just used it on a new rogers dream and it worked 100%:

If you really don't want to root, you can follow the steps to try flashing (using the same instructions he gives in that post) with the official rogers radio.img and recovery.img here: http://www.stevebirstok.com/android/losemyroot.zip
well I hate how slow my phone feels so I'm going in for the root again thanks for the push to try again.
ok ran into an issue:
Installing from sdcard...
Finding update package...
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (No such file of directory)
E:Can't mount SDCARD:update.zip

that means it can't see your sdcard.
see if dropping into the recovery console(alt+x) and typing
Code:
mount /sdcard
recovery
see if that helps anything since that command will mount your sdcard which it appears to be failing to read.
when I try enter the console all the options are removed form the screen then nothing happens all I see is the yellow text.
The yellow text I'm talking about is the error message I posted.
if you are trying to unroot it, use the same rc package that you use to downgrade it in the bootloader (camera and power) and run the .nbh there

Are you sure your sdcard is formatted to FAT32?
I'm going o try that when I get home
ok so it's weird.
E:Multiple firmware images
E:can't store hboot images
E:failure at line 1
write_hboot_image PACKAGE:hboot.img
install aborted
ok so now it just sits on the "Rogers" logo and wont enter any mode (camara+power)
edit: looks like that means I biked the thing hope they will replace it (i'll just blame it on their firmware update thing)
edit2: calling rogers to try get a replacement
will it it read an .nbh in the bootloader?
I don't know how can I test that or see if it will?
I was refering to the dreaimg.nbh from either rc29 or rc7 that you use to downgrade your phone in order to root it, that use the bootloader camera + power
no it wont enter any mode at all just sits on the rogers logo so a new phone should show up in the next 3 to 5 days
this kinda scares me off from trying again but I want to so I might.
got a all new phone and it still wont mount the Sd card like last time
ok so i helped some one root their rogers phone last night. are you trying to flash the radio, or have you followed all of the fastboot commands in the "rogers heres your real root" thread? the guy i was helping couldn't flash the radio but we got it with the fastboot commands
no I'm past loading recovery.img with fastboot and I'm trying to apply the update.zip
thats very odd. so you did all the fastboot commands and still can't get it to work?
is it any rom you try to flash?
well I was following the guide in one of the first posts
Its reaally pissing me off cuz it will not open it and it says no such file exist even tho i can pull it up on my laptop!
maybe you should redownload the file?
i tried
that already and it didnt work either. I unrooted my phone and ended up back at firmware 1.0 and im trying to get cupcake back but my phone wont read the file. it keeps giving me the error message in the recovery screen.
E:cant open/sdcard/update.zip
(no such file or directory)
installation aborted
go intro astro and rename it update.zip or just update.
Your computer might of added an extra .zip

If you unrooted it did you reroot it so you can flash a rom?
Also I know you said you redownloaded it, but did you check the MD5sum.
If you've unrooted then like supreme mentioned, it would be wise to re-root and try flashing again. Also are you running Cyanogen & JF's recovery image? Would make updating much easier if so.

I just flashed back to stock (apparently a new version) which is 2.2. My problem is that i cant install clockworkmod. Ive tried two different methods
1. Using rom manager, and just downloading it then flashing it.
2. Downloading the clockworkmod file, putting it in the root directory, and using adb to go into recovery and install it.
Both times i got this error
Finding update package..
Opening update package..
Verifying update package..
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
How can i fix this?
Thanks
Check out the third sticky in captivate general. The one about 3e signature verification. May be what you are looking for.
yeah, i just tried that. Didnt work. Im not sure if i did it right though...
I did..
1) copy the recovery file onto my phone
2) download terminal emulator
3) type su (to get it root access)
4) enter the command (nothing happened after i entered it... it just entered)
5) open file expert and put the file in the right directory
6) use adb to reboot into recovery
then i tried flawshing update.zip... same signature problem
Hello first,
I wanted to yesterday, the new update of CM7 make up the v40 version.
Well but every time I get an error message when CWM, if I make a "Wipe Dalvik" do
Error message: "E: unknown volume for path (/ sd-ext) ".
and if I want to update the instalation, so on "choose from sdcard zip" then stands as an error message
Finding update package ...
Opening update pack ...
E: Can not open / sdcard/download/cm40.zip (bad) Installation aborted
I've really no idea which lies ahead. The updates before they all went without problems but now not any more why whatsoever.
Ignore the /sd-ext message, that's nothing.
My guess for the other error is that you just got a bad download.
I've downloaded twice and it came the same error. I've also tried to install the v39 and also did not work. And there is always the Android comes with a triangle where a !
Odd, that graphic sounds like the stock recovery, not Clockworkmod. What version are you using? I know 3.0.1.4 doesn't get on with CM7, but it should give an assert error, not that.
Okay the problem is removed. I've now downloaded the v41 and it worked. thanks again
do you have any idea how to back to optimus 2x official firmware?
clockworkmod, adb pull, or romdump

Good Morning
Very ironic,but i came here to ask about rooting my phone a year back and now i'm back in sort of the same situation..
A year back I rooted my froyo 2.2.1 based Galaxy S to a gingerbread version,then i used quite a few of the ICS roms available on this forum,had been using Cyanogen for the past few months.Yesterday i had some free time,so i thought would check out the JB roms available.
So i did the usual,download the JB version of Fishears since i had a iNand.put it in my internal sdcard..but i could not access the memory card from CWM 5.0.2.7..,so i put it in my external memory card and tried to run the zip from there,but the process got aborted in the middle,tried it twice,dint work.
Then i remembered i had faced this internal memory problem before,had to go and switch on the debugging mode in the developer option.[P.S:- i had been facing the encryption successful problem for half a year,was too lazy/busy to fix it,i just took it in my stride and rebooted a lot to get into the homepage]
So,I'm in CWM and i run the usual process and run the zip file from the internal sdcard,it started out fine,them BOOM.my phone reboots all of a sudden.When it restarts,it does not have a OS to boot into,the green android image with a red exclamation mark and a few text appears which happens too fast to read and it keeps rebooting and this process goes on.
I can still access CWM and the download mode,i tried going into CWM but the internal sd doesnt open and the zip file fails to mount from the external sd.
So i thought **** it,i'll do the rooting part again and i run up ODIN,download the semaphore 2.7.4 kernel,and i see it is just 15 mb or so,i remembered i used more than 1 file and used the pit folder also,but i read it on the semaphore website,its only 1 file and have to use it as the PDA.went to download mode and odin recognised it and the process completed without a hitch,it even showed a green PASS..
but the problem came when it had to reboot after the process,it got stuck in the "Galaxy S GT I9000" page and never moved forward.it was there for 30 minutes or so before i pulled out the battery.
Basically
1.I cant get past that page
2.I can access the CWM and Download modes
3.I accepted my mistake and thought of not doing any more mistakes,so icame here
4.When i boot into CWM mode,these errors come
E:failed to open/etc/recovery.fstab (No such file or directory)
E:unknown volume for path[/cache/recovery/command]
E:Can't mount /cache/recovery/command

Click to collapse
Cant access the external sd from the CWM now
I dont mind any os now,as long as i can take calls.Am leaving college for home by train day after,so i need a working os as soon as possible
Thank you for reading this and thank you in advance for taking your time to help me out

Ok dont know whether this is good or bad
I installed CM9 from the external sd as the internal sd was inaccesible in any way..the installation showed info like
"the internal sd card marker could not be found
Going ahead with installation"
the installation continues and restarts once and updates but it does not boot into the main page,it directly goes into the Encryption Unsuccessful page.When i try Reset Phone,it goes into the CWM recovery screen with some errors,
when i try to install CM10 from this recvery screen,it initially stops the installation saying the data partition layout is different and all my data will be wiped.run the .zip to go ahead with the progress.I run this it goes directly into the CWM 6.0._._ and it doesnt show any errors,i try to reboot it gets stuck on the galaxy s screen.
this situation is better than the previous condition as i know a OS can still run on my Phone..Just need to get this thing rectified now
Please if anyone could help me right now,i would be really grateful..not able to contact anyone without my phone

Is there a way to download contacts from gmail without gapps,the play store is not included in the original rom and i'm hesitant to go into CWM recovery mode as i will have to tackle the EU page again
Anyways thanks for your help,will have to fix this problem once and for all after i reach home
